Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice
6 slices of bacon
1 package (11 oz.) market blend vegetables
Basil or chopped chives

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the bacon on a backing sheet in the oven.
2

Bake for 15-20 minutes. I like my bacon crispy so I let it cook for 20 minutes.
3

Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with absorbent paper towel. Cut into pieces once cool.
4

While the bacon is cooking, prepare the vegetables according to the instructions on the microwavable package.
5

Mix together the cold rice, bag of vegetables and sauce, and almost all the bacon in a bowl. Stir well and add fresh chopped basil or chives.
6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
7

Serve at room temperature and decorate with fresh herbs and the rest of the bacon.

You can also use bacon that has been pre-cut and –cooked.
Try other combinations of vegetables; it will give your salad a different taste.
